Yeah that is what the internets say as well. Mineral Spirits is where I was directed....
And out in the sun for the stock.
Any other suggestions? I don't have cool tools like sonic cleaners. I just be po boy. Well not really but my wife has all my money.....
Not sure how much sun/heat you'll generate this time of year. Hair drier maybe.
One thing that I did to de-cosmoline some surplus rifles a while back was to make a little "oven."
I took a shiny steel trashcan, drilled some holes along one edge, and mounted some big, high wattage incandescent lightbulbs in there. Stick the rifle inside, turn on all the lights, and the cosmo will get warm enough to just run off of the gun.
Now, what gun gets kicked out of the safe?
Probably the Ruger 10/22.
That's a really good idea, Hawkeye! I used the summer sun and black trash bags on Mosin's, but also ended up pouring 180 degree water over them to get off the cosmoline that the sun didn't. You made your own sun and can leave it on as long as you need to.
Do not, I repeat, Do not use your wifes oven. The life you save will be your own..
I pull the metal from the stock and totally dissassemble.
Yes, you should remove the firing pin too if you don't want a slam fire.
I use a heat gun on metal to soften up the cosmo and get the bulk of it to drip off.
I soak the bolt and piston parts in a plastic shoe box of mineral spirits
Mineral spirit rub on the stock with a paper towel.
No ovens for me. definitly don't want any cosmo dripping or fumes in the oven for me.
To get the sks firing pin out, watch videos, you need to use a punch to push a pin out.
If you didn't get tbe bulk of the cosmo out of the stock, you'll know it on a warm day (bring some more towels)
SKS is well worth the time to deal with cosmo.... just think of it as sweat equity
Well, I am two days into my new rifle.
I have one thing, and one thing only to say....
I HATE COSMOLINE.........
